Chapter 1689: Chapter 1690: Skilled at Backstabbing

Rong Yan caught the gaze directed at her, but couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind the provocative look.

Showing off?

They were mother and daughter; it was perfectly normal for Mrs. Jiang to care for her. What was there to boast about?

"Oh, you." Jiang Chenyue didn’t notice her subtle movements, sighed, then suddenly turned to Rong Yan with a concerned expression, "I’ve been so caught up talking. Yan, are you hungry? If you are, I’ll have them bring out some pastries first."

"Qin Jun, that kid, insisted on cooking in person, but we’ve been waiting forever and nothing’s ready yet. He should have let the family’s chef take over."

Despite her complaints, she was beaming as she spoke with Rong Yan, "He said you agreed to come and play, and he’s over the moon with happiness. I didn’t even know he went and bought groceries himself. He studied abroad for a few years. During those years, his uncle and parents were strict with him, freezing all his cards. He had to live on his own, and it was probably then that he learned to cook. Although it’s not as tasty as outside, his home-cooked dishes are decent. Try it later, and if you like it, I’ll have him cook for you the next time you come over."

Before Rong Yan could respond, Chu Xi interjected, "I didn’t know my brother lived independently before. Men who can cook are so rare these days, my brother must be quite popular."

"Him? I don’t know about him. We never see him bring anyone home. His temper is too foul; maybe no one likes him, who knows."

"Mom, if you say that about him, my brother will cry if he hears it." Chu Xi joked with a gleaming smile, "Ever since my brother took over KT Entertainment, many actresses in the circle secretly admired him. My brother is so outstanding, there’s no way no one likes him. You’re being too harsh on him."

"Haha, really? To me, he seems to be goofing around all day, even when meeting girls for dates. He’s so nonchalant. We’ve picked out several suitable matches for him at home, and he won’t even meet them. I can’t figure out what he has in his mind."

Chu Xi quickly glanced at Rong Yan, leisurely sitting and casually said, "Maybe he likes someone already. I heard he has a good relationship with someone named Qi Yue from KT Entertainment, and some say they’re dating."

"Qi Yue?" Jiang Chenyue showed a bewildered look, clearly not familiar with the name.

Ignoring Rong Yan’s rapidly cooling gaze, Chu Xi continued smiling, "Yes. That girl is a newly debuted singer under KT Entertainment, very down-to-earth. I heard her family conditions weren’t good, and people from her village pooled resources to send her to college. She signed with the company after participating in a talent show and gradually started releasing albums, gaining a group of fans. She’s a very diligent and positive girl. I’ve heard she sends all the money she earns back to her village to help build roads. Apparently, her village isn’t connected to the outside with paved roads yet, and she’s able to benefit her hometown after becoming successful, showing she’s someone of good character. I remember she knows Miss Rong. The talent show I mentioned was the one Miss Rong also participated in; they looked after each other then, so Miss Rong should know the girl better than I do."

Though she seemed to be praising Qi Yue, for being grateful and hardworking, there was only one core message—poor!

Qi Yue’s family conditions were far from meeting the standards of the Chu Family, certainly not someone they deemed suitable for Qin Jun!
